SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

Work Flow

INFOID:0000000006695887

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW

Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any of
the customer's comments; refer to

MIR-39, "Diagnostic Worksheet"

. This information is necessary to duplicate

the conditions that exist when the noise occurs.
• The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to obtain

all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

• If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer is

concerned about. This can be accomplished by a test drive with the customer.

• After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics

are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

• Squeak – (Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)

Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard surfaces
= higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping

• Creak – (Like walking on an old wooden floor)

Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch depen-
dent on materials/often brought on by activity.

• Rattle – (Like shaking a baby rattle)

Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

• Knock – (Like a knock on a door)

Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

• Tick – (Like a clock second hand)

Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

• Thump – (Heavy, muffled knock noise)

Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

• Buzz – (Like a bumble bee)

Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

• Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that a technician

may judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

• Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND TEST DRIVE

If possible, drive the vehicle with the customer until the noise is duplicated. Note any additional information on
the Diagnostic Worksheet regarding the conditions or location of the noise. This information can be used to
duplicate the same conditions when the repair is reconfirmed.

SBT842

MIR-36

< SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS >

SQUEAK AND RATTLE TROUBLE DIAGNOSES

If the noise can be duplicated easily during the test drive, to help identify the source of the noise, try to dupli-
cate the noise with the vehicle stopped by doing one or all of the following:
1) Close a door.
2) Tap or push/pull around the area where the noise appears to be coming from.
3) Rev the engine.
4) Use a floor jack to recreate vehicle “twist”.
5) At idle, apply engine load (electrical load, half-clutch on M/T model, drive position on A/T model).
6) Raise the vehicle on a hoist and hit a tire with a rubber hammer.
• Drive the vehicle and attempt to duplicate the conditions the customer states exist when the noise occurs.
• If it is difficult to duplicate the noise, drive the vehicle slowly on an undulating or rough road to stress the

vehicle body.

LOCATE THE NOISE AND IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE

1.

Narrow down the noise to a general area. To help pinpoint the source of the noise, use a listening tool
(Engine Ear or mechanics stethoscope).

2.

Narrow down the noise to a more specific area and identify the cause of the noise by:

• Removing the components in the area that is are suspected to be the cause of the noise.

Do not use too much force when removing clips and fasteners, otherwise clips and fastener can be broken
or lost during the repair, resulting in the creation of new noise.

• Tapping or pushing/pulling the component that is are suspected to be the cause of the noise.

Do not tap or push/pull the component with excessive force, otherwise the noise will be eliminated only tem-
porarily.

• Feeling for a vibration by hand by touching the component(s) that is are suspected to be the cause of the

noise.

• Placing a piece of paper between components that is are suspected to be the cause of the noise.
• Looking for loose components and contact marks.

Refer to

MIR-37, "Inspection Procedure"

.

REPAIR THE CAUSE

• If the cause is a loose component, tighten the component securely.
• If the cause is insufficient clearance between components:
- Separate components by repositioning or loosening and retightening the component, if possible.
- Insulate components with a suitable insulator such as urethane pads, foam blocks, felt cloth tape or ure-

thane tape. These insulators are available through the authorized Nissan Parts Department.

CAUTION:

Never use excessive force as many components are constructed of plastic and may be damaged.
NOTE:
• URETHANE PADS

Insulates connectors, harness, etc.

• INSULATOR (Foam blocks)

Insulates components from contact. Can be used to fill space behind a panel.

• INSULATOR (Light foam block)
• FELT CLOTHTAPE

Used to insulate where movement does not occur. Ideal for instrument panel applications.
The following materials, not available through NISSAN Parts Department, can also be used to repair
squeaks and rattles.

• UHMW(TEFLON) TAPE

Insulates where slight movement is present. Ideal for instrument panel applications.

• SILICONE GREASE

Used in place of UHMW tape that is be visible or does not fit.
Note: Will only last a few months.

• SILICONE SPRAY

Used when grease cannot be applied.

• DUCT TAPE

Used to eliminate movement.

CONFIRM THE REPAIR

Confirm that the cause of a noise is repaired by test driving the vehicle. Operate the vehicle under the same
conditions as when the noise originally occurred. Refer to the notes on the Diagnostic Worksheet.

Inspection Procedure

INFOID:0000000006695888

Refer to Table of Contents for specific component removal and installation information.

INSTRUMENT PANEL

Most incidents are caused by contact and movement between:

1.

Cluster lid A and instrument panel

2.

Acrylic lens and combination meter housing

3.

Instrument panel to front pillar garnish

4.

Instrument panel to windshield

5.

Instrument panel mounting pins

6.

Wiring harnesses behind the combination meter

7.

A/C defroster duct and duct joint

These incidents can usually be located by tapping or moving the components to duplicate the noise or by
pressing on the components while driving to stop the noise. Most of these incidents can be repaired by apply-
ing felt cloth tape or silicon spray (in hard to reach areas). Urethane pads can be used to insulate wiring har-
ness.

CAUTION:

Never use silicone spray to isolate a squeak or rattle. If the area is saturated with silicone, the recheck
of repair becomes impossible.

CENTER CONSOLE

Components to pay attention to include:

1.

Shifter assembly cover to finisher

2.

A/C control unit and cluster lid C

3.

Wiring harnesses behind audio and A/C control unit

The instrument panel repair and isolation procedures also apply to the center console.

DOORS

Pay attention to the following:

1.

Finisher and inner panel making a slapping noise

2.

Inside handle escutcheon to door finisher

3.

Wiring harnesses tapping

4.

Door striker out of alignment causing a popping noise on starts and stops

Tapping or moving the components or pressing on them while driving to duplicate the conditions can isolate
many of these incidents. The areas can usually be insulated with felt cloth tape or insulator foam blocks to
repair the noise.

TRUNK

Trunk noises are often caused by a loose jack or loose items put into the trunk by the customer.
In addition look for the following:

1.

Trunk lid dumpers out of adjustment

2.

Trunk lid striker out of adjustment

3.

Trunk lid torsion bars knocking together

4.

A loose license plate or bracket

Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.

SUNROOF/HEADLINING

Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:

1.

Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise

2.

Sunvisor shaft shaking in the holder

3.

Front or rear windshield touching headlining and squeaking

Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.
